It's time to wrap up our coverage of Tailor, Sam Mason's new spot in the Lower East Side. What better way to do it than to announce it's official soft opening. Without further ado, Little Birdy! "Soft opening (investors, friends, family) happened this evening (of august the 28th)." Thanks LB, and please, do tell us how the drinks taste soon.
Oh, and major bonus points for a cocktail menu.
Gotta say--amazing. Room/ downstairs lounge nicely done, but unfinished- should have had that together. 19th c. industrial thing going on. Raised dining room is pretty, full glass front gives it nice feel. Sam Mason is in fine form. Maybe just for friends/fam but menu: 5 Savory/5 Sweet. VERY small dishes but VERY satisfying. Like wd, thought provoking- not meat+potatoes. Savory was terrific but sweet is where Mason (obviously) shines. Drinks were a highpoint. Mason hired the right guy- Eben Freeman does it right. Small list of 5 drinks. Red bell pepper punch was out of this world. A bubblegum vodka drink: didnt think I would, but loved it. Smart drink actually. After all the hype/delays, for sure figured it would be anticlimactic. But Mason&Co have got the goods.
ReplyDeletea friend of mine was hired on as a bartender, he makes - and invents - some amazing cocktails. can't wait to check it out. i'm glad they finally made it through the long and hard process of opening.
ReplyDeleteSo my wife and I checked in on the new place that we heard was a dessert spot in SoHo, a block from where we live.
ReplyDeleteThrough the frosted glass we could see that the lights were on and people were inside.
We had also heard there would be some kind of soft opening before the weekend.
So we walked in the unlocked front door.
Fair enough?
A guy who presented himself as an owner barked at us that they were not open.
Then we asked if there would, in fact, be some kind of preview when he jumped out of his seat still barking "No!" and ushered us to the door with one or two more condescending statements and a crud-eating grin.
My wife and I were dressed for dinner at a nice local place and we were as friendly as could be until this guy showered us with disgust.
If he gives us any indication as to what patrons can expect, they won't be around very long at all.
As for us? We're done. I don't care what they're serving.
what a sensitive man.
ReplyDeleteI have been having a similar negative experience with Tailor.
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to make a reservation. As per their instructions I leave a voicemail since the receptionist seems to never answer. Anyway, they have failed to return my 3 phone calls.
:-(
Maybe I missed it, but the food combinations were too weird for me and I left hungry... Also, the service was a mess. Had high hopes, big disappointment.
